description

The exact construction time of 3 Kilmoluaig is not recorded, so that only the early 19th century can be given as the construction period. The one-story house is built in the traditional style of the island. In the north, an elongated barn with two extensions used to be directly connected. The squat looking house consists mainly of dry masonry , some of which is whitewashed. It ends with a thatched hipped roof . In 1981 the building was restored and the associated barn was demolished. It was rebuilt true to the original and now serves as a residential building.
